Democratic primary hopeful Keith Crisco has launched the first TV ad of his campaign for the 2nd Congressional District.

In a spot that is airing throughout the district on broadcast and cable stations, Crisco highlights his experience as a businessman and as the former state secretary of commerce.

“He doesn’t just talk about creating jobs, he’s done it,” says a woman in the ad, which then goes on to list his jobs accomplishments.

Crisco, who lives in Asheboro, is running against former entertainer Clay Aiken, who lives near Cary, and Toni Morris, a professional counselor from Fayetteville to be the Democratic nominee for Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers’s seat.
